KugelAudio-0-Open GGUF
For use with audio.cpp.
Converted from kugelaudio/kugelaudio-0-open.
The upstream model is MIT licensed; see LICENSE.
Contents
kugelaudio-0-open-bf16.gguf contains the generation weights, tokenizer, model
specification, and four preset voices: default, clear, english_female, and
english_male. The unused audio and semantic encoders are excluded.
The open model accepts text with a preset voice, not reference-audio cloning. It generates 24 kHz mono speech. audio.cpp does not apply watermarking.
Usage
audiocpp_cli --task tts --family kugelaudio \
--model /path/to/kugelaudio-0-open-bf16.gguf --backend cuda \
--text "The next train leaves in ten minutes." \
--request-option voice_id=english_female --seed 1234 \
--out speech.wav --log
Use --mode streaming for incremental audio output. Long text uses the
framework text chunker; --text-chunk-size controls the chunk budget.
See the model guide
for sampling and session options.
